Mission Statement

Our mission in the Bursar's Office is to provide accurate and timely account information and reliable fiscal guidance to students in a high-quality professional manner.

Welcome from the Office of the Bursar

The Bursar's Office is here to provide you with your direct cost of attendance, payment information, refunds, financial holds and alternative payment options at Concordia University. We interact with students, parents, faculty, staff and administrators along with outside agencies either in person, by phone, or by email. Our goal is to make your experience at Concordia as financially feasible as possible, provide outstanding service while maintaining a high level of integrity, honesty, and professional ethics.

Fines such as housing fines and library fines must be paid in full by the departmental deadline. Fines not paid or appealed within this time period are considered delinquent, and the amount of the fine will be added to the student's account. Should you have questions about fines, please contact the appropriate department.

Payment Information

Your direct cost of attendance includes: tuition, fees and room and meals (if applicable). These charges are reflected on your student bill along with financial aid (grants and scholarships) and payments. Bills are sent to the e-mail addresses you have entered in MyRecords prior to the beginning of each semester.

Payments must be received by the due date (see above), whether you receive a Student Bill or not. It is the sole responsibility of the student to adhere to payment deadlines of his/her tuition and accommodating fees. If you make changes resulting in increased costs (after the payment deadline), you are required to make full payment of the difference when the changes are made. Tuition charges and fees are assessed when the student registers. Room and board charges are assessed upon assignments issued by our Housing Office. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that all necessary documents are submitted and approved by the correct department to allow housing and meal charges to reflect on the tuition bill. All tuition, fees, housing and meal costs are due by the payment deadlines to avoid a $100 late fee. Nonpayment of tuition does not constitute an official drop/withdrawal from class.

Payments can be mailed in, made in person or online. We accept cash, check and e-check, money order, and cashier's check.

Refunds

Student refunds generated from excess student aid may be requested after the first day of classes. All financial aid requirements and documentation must be completed and approved before your refund is requested.

Financial Holds

A student who has past due debt to the University will be assessed a Bursar Hold. They will not be permitted to register in any program at the University. Holds are released when payment is received.

Alternative Payment Options

We provide semester Payment Plans and Alternative and Parent PLUS Loans as alternative payment methods. We will work with you to find the best option for you.If you enroll in a Payment Plan with CASHNet, you will carry a balance until all payments are made. It is the responsibility of the student to verify that the Plan Amount will pay off their semester balance. Payment Plan accounts are subject to a financial hold at the discretion of the University.

Financial Aid and Scholarship Recipients

If your financial aid and/or scholarship(s) do not cover your semester charges, it is your responsibility to seek alternative payment options for the amount of tuition remaining. The Credit/Anticipated Credit section of the bill reflects any aid that the University has received on your behalf. If you are aware of aid not reflected on your bill please contact the party responsible for your aid:

It should be noted that students must register Full-Time to receive Financial Aid. It is the student's responsibility to notify the Financial Aid Office if the student registers below 12 units. Please visit Financial Aid or The Bursar's Office for further information.
